Leadership is becoming deeply personal — and neuroscience explains why. In this episode, Ligia Koijen Ramos explores how emotional regulation, safety, and presence are now the real foundations of effective leadership. As society shifts from efficiency to empathy, the future of work demands leaders who can connect, feel, and create coherence.

A reflection on the human brain, the changing world, and why emotional intelligence is no longer a skill, it’s a necessity.

In this episode, Ligia Koijen opens up the timeless question: what are relationships really about? She explores the subtle but profound difference between a relationship and relating, and why this distinction often determines whether we feel connected or lost.

With her philosophical lens and coaching experience, Ligia unpacks why something so essential to our human nature can also feel so complicated, and how a shift in perspective might be the key to making it lighter, more authentic, and deeply human.

In this episode we go deep about the reasons relationships end and if it is possible to rebuild it. Or,  it is just one more myth spread in the personal development world?

We often talk about addiction like it’s the enemy, something to battle, overcome, or erase.
But what if addiction isn’t the problem?
What if it’s the symptom of something deeper, unspoken, and human?

In this episode, Ligia Koijen Ramos shares a personal story about her surprising addiction to cleaning, not to sparkle the house, but to quiet her mind.
She also explores how, in her coaching work, addiction shows up in disguised forms: perfectionism, workaholism, even constant healing.

This is a bold, honest, and compassionate invitation to look underneath the behaviour and ask:
What am I really trying to soothe?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop or judged yourself for not “breaking the habit,” this episode will offer new language, perspective, and a powerful shift.

In this episode of The Coach Is Next Door, I challenge one of the most repeated narratives in personal development: that the ego is something we need to “kill,” “drop,” or “get over.”
But what if the ego isn’t your enemy? What if it’s your invitation to real connection, clarity, and presence?

I explore the ego through the lens of neuroscience and Transactional Analysis, sharing personal stories, client experiences, and a shift in perspective that might just change how you lead, love, and live.

You’ll hear:
Why ego isn’t about arrogance, it’s about identity
The three ego states in Transactional Analysis (Parent, Child, Adult)
How to recognise when your Adult is offline, and how to bring it back
A real coaching story of ego integration in action
A practical reflection to take into your week

This episode is a call to stop fighting your ego and start listening to it. Because when you integrate it, you don’t lose yourself, you finally arrive.

"Laugh Like You Mean It: Humour, NLP & Owning Your Life"

In this episode, Ligia Koijen Ramos sits down with stand-up comedy artist Rachel Morton-Young for an honest and hilariously profound conversation about humour, not just as entertainment, but as a transformational code for life. Together they explore what humour is really doing to our brains and bodies, how it intersects with the principles of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and why authenticity—when used with awareness, can help us create a life that actually feels like ours.

Get ready for a conversation that goes beyond jokes, diving into the power of presence, self-expression, and how laughter might just be the most radical form of truth-telling.
